ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — David Ortiz hit his 30th home run in the first inning, but Tampa Bay came back from a three-run deficit to beat Boston to prevent the Red Sox from taking sole possession of the AL East lead.
Luke Maile doubled with two out in the 11th and scored after Red Sox pitcher Heath Hembree (4-1) dropped a throw to first base on Kevin Kiermaier's grounder.
Brad Boxberger (2-0) got the win with one inning of relief.
Boston has won 10 of its last 13 games and remained tied for first with Toronto.
Bidding to become the majors' first 18-game winner, Rick Porcello allowed Evan Longoria's tying homer in the eighth before leaving. It was Longoria's 30th homer.
